Have you ever thought about making one of your family's favorite dinners in a muffin tin? Well, it's time to give it a try! Our recipe for Muffin Tin Meat Loaves is more than just easy and convenient, it's a dinnertime must-have!

What You'll Need:

1 1/2
pounds ground beef

1 egg, slightly beaten

1 1/2
cups shredded zucchini (about 1 medium)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2
teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

1/2
teaspoon salt

1/4
teaspoon black pepper

1/2
cup bread crumbs

1/4
cup water

1/4
cup ketchup

What To Do:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except ketchup, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Place about 1/3 cup of beef mixture into each of 12 medium muffin cups, pressing lightly; spread ketchup evenly over tops.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until no pink remains and juices run clear.

Notes

If you want, you can use yellow squash in place of the zucchini...or some of both!

If you live alone and don't want to bake a FULL loaf pan meatloaf I find this extremely convenient and cost effective way to stretch a budget. Eating groundbeef seems to be the ONLY affordable way to eat beef these days, but I have also used Ground Chicken and Turkey to make a loaf this way.

Fun way to do meatloaf. I use large sized muffin tin for 6 muffins. Top each one differently cheese, salsa, BBQ sauce, ketchup, onion slice, bacon, etc. Easy and does not need a drip pan if you use lean meat.

It's a cute idea, but not very practical. You would need to use a cookie sheet under the muffin pan, to catch the drippings, and you will have a messy cleanup. I'll stick to my own recipie. Every one loves it! Even meat loaf haters.... once they "try" mine they always ask for "seconds". I love to tease them, and say that they have now been converted... LOL
